problem with levinson no 37?

I have a levinson 37 transport and I just purchased a used copy of the Sony, 20 bit, Miles Davis Kind of Blue. The Levinson is unable to read the disc but all of my other players have no problem with it (cheap bedroom player and car player). The disc appears to be in perfect cosmetic shape. I guess my question is, do you think the problem is with the disc or the player?

Mstram: see my comment above. This is exactly what happened to me. The same discs would play perfectly first in my Marantz CD burner, and later in my Sony SCD-1. They still play perfectly in my Classe Omega. I never figured out what the problem was with the 37.

I just tried one of the above suggestions to copy the disc to a CD-R. The copy plays fine in the 37! I phoned Madrigal and they are having their engineers look into the problem.

That's weird to me. I haven't been able to get any copies to play in the 37.

Rives--You say that you can't get any burned CD-R to play in your 37? Do you get any of the messages I listed above? Perhaps there may be something related to the CD burner itself. Have you tried copies made on somebody else's computer? Have you had any problems, or has anyone else out there had problems getting hybrid SACDs to read?

I'm going to try it again. If I recall I got a BAD DISC error. It has been a long time since I tried it, and it's possible I have not done this with my new writter. Will let you know. My hybrid CDs read fine. I do have at least two Rhino discs that I can't get to read in this player, but they read fine in other players in the house.
